After working for more than 18 years at a local plumbing company, Mick Geary launched his own company on Nov. 14, 2006, with the opening of Buckeye Plumbing Service.

"I had been thinking about going out on my own for some time and finally decided the time was right," said Geary. "I provide a service with years of experience, and I know how to treat people. The key to business for me is I offer honest and fair pricing."

Geary has experience plumbing everything from new businesses to million-dollar homes to regular residential structures. He recently obtained his state plumber's license, which allows him to pursue commercial plumbing jobs.

"The state license opened another spectrum of work for me," said Geary, who is licensed in both Guernsey and Muskingum counties.

Geary said he set two early goals for himself in opening the new business.

"I wanted to get my state license and get a truck," he said. "I just had my truck lettered a few days ago after getting my state license a couple weeks ago."

Buckeye Plumbing Service offers a full-range of plumbing services, including installation of new equipment and service calls in new and existing structures.

Geary is available 24-hours-a-day for emergency calls. His normal working hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Buckeye Plumbing Service is a fully-insured company, including Workman's Compensation and liability insurance, located on Old 21 Road north of Cambridge.

Born and raised in Cambridge, Geary, has lived all his life in this area, except for a three-year stint in the U.S. Army.

Geary and his wife, Shaun, have three children, a son, Josh, 28; and two daughters, Rachel, 25, aºnd Sarah, 18. They have one granddaughter.
